Ulysses and WIND simultaneous observations of the radio emission associated with the 6-7 January 1997 coronal mass ejection

The three dimensional source location of interplanetary type 2 radio bursts is intended to be determined from two spacecraft observations, performed by the radio receivers onboard the WIND and Ulysses spacecraft and associated with the interplanetary coronal mass ejection detected by the large advanced spectrometer coronagraph (LASCO) from the SOHO spacecraft. The intensity time profiles recorded by WIND and Ulysses were compared and their directivity is found to vary from one component of radio emission to another. The three dimensional location was obtained by radio triangulation and was deduced from the direction measured at WIND and the difference of the arrival times measured at both spacecraft. The sensitivity of both determination methods to wave scattering and refraction was discussed.
